Hidden behind Dublin's trusty 'ol Los Pericos is this Japanese curry spot. It's unmarked, very tiny, but served delicious katsu and curry. When we first came in, we noticed that there were about 7 tables and some only fit two people. Since its counter service style, some couples would sit in four-seater tables and that was a little frustrating as we waited just standing (no waiting area) in the middle of the restaurant. However, the Japanese chicken katsu and curry was delicious. My group had also ordered the karaage curry which was just as flavorful and tasty. The meat was cooked perfectly where it wasn't dry nor too oily. I'd definitely come back here. read more

Demiya - Japanese Curry Near Me - Dublin, California

I love Demiya in San Jose and eat there all the time. I stumbled upon the Dublin location and was excited, but.... First, it's freezing inside, I ordered the Pork tonkatsu and it was undercooked, just took the food in the back where they started eating a few pieces and then tossed the uncooked pieces back in the fryer. I mean you could have just served me the same pork you threw back in the fryer instead of making a fresh one. But Thank You for the meal and dining experience. I ate some of the new plate and took the rest to go as it was too cold inside. read more

Got a Yelp notification that Demiya was serving Japanese curry and getting notoriety so we headed there for a off peak lunch. Read some reviews from yelper Victor G. and ordered the Tonkatsu curry rice regular no add ons. Breaking it down the rice is cooked just right, the curry is flavorful and the Tonkatsu is thick and good. We also ordered the Karrage Chicken curry rice with a fried egg which was also very good. It is served with a spicy mayo. I originally wanted to try the Buta curry Doria but was warned it would take at least 30 minutes. So I passed. The meal was made to order and took at least 20 minutes just for the regular curry rice. The restaurant is on the far corner of the Ace Hardware shopping center next to the Taco store. They don't take CASH so we ordered a side of pickles $1 so $1.09 cc charge. Then got a can of soda so another $3.68 cc charge. It fine for me but when their credit card processor does an average ticket charge they will wind up paying a much higher rate. Service is minimal. Park on the side of the building. read more

Demiya is literally a diamond in the ruff, having no signage at either entrance, just 7477 in a former office space at the rear of a tacqueria. Small inside dining area is austere, little decor, just 10ish tables. Greeted courteously upon entry. Order taken, paid for. Food brought to table. Offerings: Japanese curry rice/udon, teishoka, toppings, drinks. Eats: Tonkatsu curry rice (15.50) mild with egg (2.20) -curry very spicy without heat of chilis. Pork thick portion with thin layer of fat. Authentic tasty curry, katsu version never tasted before. -fried egg added nothing to experience, just trying it. Drink: matcha milk tea (3.50) -heavy sugar content overwhelmed matcha and tea taste. Not worthy. Leftovers: -just ordering the basics would have been sufficient. The extras and drink didn't enhance eating experience. -curry is the definite attraction. All else pales in comparison. -small dining area, small kitchen. Best to avoid peak hours for ultimate experience. read more

Curry is one of those dishes I can shamelessly make at home with curry cubes, so I will only order it at a restaurant if it tastes better than homemade. So far so good at Demiya's soft opening! Friendly staff, unexpectedly bright space behind Los Pericos, cashless only. Tonkatsu Japanese Curry Rice ($15.50): It looks quite boring in my picture without any toppings, but I enjoyed it regardless and didn't find anything missing taste-wise. I will likely order it to go next time so I can add my own sunny side up and veggies :P The curry to rice ratio was nicely balanced and satisfying. The Regular spice level is not spicy, +1 is mild (which I got, loved it), and it goes up with +2 and +3. My favorite part was the fried fatty ends of the pork hehe I am intrigued by the curry udon ($17), but I'm hesitant after trying it at Marugame Udon and it was so salty T.T I will definitely be back for my curry rice fix though! read more

Demiya - Chicken Katsu and a side of Karaage - Japanese Curry Near Me - Dublin, California

This is a new place and working out it's routines. Food was delicious. Service was good. We came in and ordered at the counter. Yelp review said it's about 20mins wait as it's made upon order, it's was not the case. The items came 10 minutes after order. I think wait time depends on items you order. In my case of mapo tofu and kaarage, those can be premade. As for the pork chop order next to us, it took some time from their order to food arrival time. It looked amazing. Seating was competitive and tables were untidy bc the server is also the bus boy. There were too many cooks in the kitchen and not enough servers. As mention, give them some time to work out the imperfections. The food is good! Go support local business! read more

Tried this Japanese curry place in Dublin. It's totally hidden behind the Mexican restaurant with very little signage. We tried the Daria, which was like a saucy rice with lots of flavor. The tonkatsu was cooked fresh, it was tender, moist and crunchy. The curry was good, but a little salty for my taste buds. I'll come back again to try other option. I want to try the cheese hamburger next time read more

We'd heard good things about Demiya and I'm a fan of Japanese curry so I was excited to try it out! It's tucked away in the corner of a little strip mall right on the edge of a residential area, so you could totally miss this place. In fact, I'd stopped by other places in this plaza countless times without even realizing it was here! It's a small interior so luckily we arrived before a rush of people came. Between the 3 of us we got tonkatsu curry rice, karaage curry rice, and the mentaiko cream udon. The curry dishes came with a half plate of rice, the curry like a soup, and the meat on top- nice so that the meats didn't get all soggy in the curry. Great flavor, good portions! The mentaiko cream udon was pretty good as well. We've liked the mentaiko cream udon at other places better, the curry dishes were definitely better in my opinion. Can't wait to come back again and try the curry doria (baked) dishes- they seem very unique! read more

Came in on Friday night. The restaurant is inconspicuous, but crowded. It's tucked behind Los Pericos. If you know, you know. You order at the counter, given a number then sit down at an available table. This works most of the time except when it is crowded. The restaurant is one that is lit up with fluorescent lighting, so no ambiance. We ordered the following: Chicken Katsu Curry Rice 4/5 - Karage was cooked perfectly with good flavor. I ordered +2 on the spicy scale. It was good, but the heat crept up on me. The curry itself is a bit thin. I like my curry with a thicker consistency. I miss Curry House in Cupertino which offered the right consistency. I ordered a side of pickles which used to be complimentary at the San Jose locations. Mench Katsu 4/5 - Wife ordered this one. It's Japanese hamburger patty fried Katsu style. Cooked a little on the rare side but still good. My wife pushed the rare pieces aside. The last time we ordered this, it was cooked perfectly. Japanese beers 4/5 - they offered a variety of Japanese beers. They are a bit pricey at $11 each. Overall, I enjoy coming to Demiya. They will be on our rotation of go to restaurants. read more

Tried this restaurant last weekend and wasn't very impressed. We arrived right when they opened and there was a small line forming so I was expecting it to be good. The service was attentive, they were training new staff so it was a bit tense. They mixed up our plates telling us the chicken katsu was the tonkatsu. We only figured it out after we started eating and realized one of the curry's was spicy and switched plates. I ordered the tonkatsu curry spicy with pickles on the side and we got chicken karaage as an appetizer. The presentation was nice, they keep the curry away from the cutlet but the pork was very fatty. The curry was ok, we make it at home sometimes and I think ours is better. The curry is only sauce no vegetables but you can add them for $4. Overall it was filling but one toned in flavor, luckily I added pickles to mine so that added texture and sweetness but it got a little boring to eat. I really liked the karaage and I wish I had ordered it with my curry instead of the tonkatsu. I don't think I will be coming back to this restaurant any time soon. read more

Great food and portion sizes. I'm super happy a delicious Chicken cutlet curry place is in the Tri-valley now.

If you're trying to find this place, you might have to look a little bit harder! It's located in the plaza, but it's behind Los Pericos Taqueria, so you'll have to drive to the parking lot all the way to the left past Los Pericos to find this place. It currently doesn't have a sign displaying the name of the store, but it's there! We ordered some katsu for take out. I ordered the chicken katsu and it was delicious! The chicken katsu was well cooked. It wasn't dry and it had a crunchy exterior. It laid in a bed of rice and they gave you another container with the curry that you could pour over to your liking. The curry was the real show-stopper and it really enhanced the flavor of the whole meal. You can get it in different spice levels as well. The inside of the store is really clean and modern. Overall, a super good meal and a great place and I will definitely be coming back! read more

I arrived here just as the place opened up.. It sits in the back corner of the shopping center building, well hidden from sight, almost the point that I thought it was gone. I circled the building once before finding it on the second try. It sits next to the Mexican restaurant in the corner. There were just 4 people when I walked in. It's brightly lit and they welcomed me as soon as I walked in. You can see almost the whole kitchen from their small dining area. There are no physical menus that I saw, just QR codes on the table that allow you to view the menu, place your order through the website it opens, and even pay there if you want to. I am not sure how well that option works as they offered to take my payment on their card machine. After ordering on their site, it took about 2 minutes for the server to drop off the hot green tea I ordered as it was 43 degrees outside and only getting colder. The tea was fine, just a small green tea bag in a metal teapot and well used glass mug to pour it into. After another 8-9 minutes my food arrived. I had ordered the chicken katsu with rice and at spice level 2 (spicy). It was hot, and smelled and looked great. The chicken katsu was freshly fried, with a thin crispy coating. The chicken inside the breading was thick, and not dry but not juicy either. It did maintain its shape perfectly even when dipped in the curry. The spice level 2 was very well labeled as spicy, making me glad I didn't choose their spiciest option of 3. The spice itself was in the curry. The curry itself was very flavorful, spicy and blended well with the rice and the chicken. The portions themselves are a decent size, not overly generous but also not enough to feel like you're not getting your moneys worth. What little I had for leftovers I brought home with me and ate about 2 hours later. The chicken still surprisingly crispy even though it had been sitting in the curry. It was almost better the second time around even though I ate it cold. The service itself was good, the server was very attentive although it did seem like he was new and I as just getting his bearings there. The place did fill up rather quickly with other people ordering other foods and drinks so I'll be back to try something else pretty sure I won't be disappointed in whatever I try next. 4/5 as I personally feel that paying almost $5 for a single tea bag and hot water is too much. Overall though, I will come back and have more of their food. read more

This was literally a hole in the wall hidden next to Los Perricos. It's a very small but clean place. Had the curry with chicken katsu with mushrooms. I ordered the regular spice level which was perfect for me . The curry had many savory layers as well as a slight sweet layer. Probably the best Japanese curry around here. The chicken katsu was very thick, moist with perfectly seasoned crunchy-crispy batter. There were other items in the menu that peaked my interest definitely enough for a trip back. From reading other reviews, I'm pretty sure the AC has been fixed. Service was to be expected for this type of restaurant. read more

Demiya - Curry with chicken katsu - Japanese Curry Near Me - Dublin, California

I live in San Jose so I'm very familiar with Demiya. This new addition to the Demiya chain is in a obscure corner of a run down strip mall. The place itself is tiny and they didn't spend a lot of effort to make a fancy restaurant. The website and online order system is terrible. But eventually the order did go through. We arrived about 10 minutes before the curry doria was ready and seating was available. I'm not sure why but they are super stingy with things like chopsticks and napkins. The only drink is a a DIY water dispenser (same as both San Jose restaurants) Anyway the staff is friendly and handed over the food once ready. The doria was actually excellent. Great flavor, lots of chicken. cheese and sausage. It was hot even in the to-go box. It was a bit soupy but I think that's the nature of cooking in a covered aluminum pan. Overall it's good food, but the atmosphere leaves a bit to be desired. read more

Demiya - Curry Doria with Sausage - Japanese Curry Near Me - Dublin, California

New curry spot right here down the street from home. I liked the food a lot! We got the beef and Yasai Curry over rice. The Yasai was packed with a ton of veggies - mushrooms, squash, potatoes. I also added soft tofu for an extra $2. The beef was just beef in curry, so it is recommended to try and get some additional toppings. Maybe some mushrooms or fried egg. Just to give it more substance. One down side to the food was that the spicy level wasn't what I thought. I got +2 spicy out of 3, and I didn't taste it. Maybe they forgot, or maybe that is truly the second highest spice level. The service was great here too. They were quick to serve everyone, and they seemed well prepared for the dinner rush. The restaurant itself looks very modern and clean. It's a great spot for a date night. read more

No sign...no hours posted on corner rear old drycleaner back og scores. But...damn tasty CURRY Japanese style. Another in Sunnyvale area. But doesn't matter fresh almost made daily.

The fave Don buried and pork or chicken katsu think schnitzel...is the best since Fremont taste city-all things Asian. Respect. Their app better displays menu hours and locations vs. Site. 20m wait sometimes but order ahead if you dare. It's worth the wait!!! No fotos finally hot tea and bottled drinks. Outside seating. Counter ordering but they bring hot dishes to your table. Hah, my mouthwatering just thinking about No potato filler here. Just great read more

Food was good, service was great. Only complaint is that there is no exterior signage, it is hidden behind Los Perritos.

tried this place for the first time. nice place for japanese curry, friendly workers, small seating area but a good place to sit down and enjoy a meal. i ordered the chicken katsu curry rice and potato croquettes. ngl, the breading and deep fry was good and crispy but like other ppl, i also thought the chicken was kinda dry and in pretty thick pieces. you can however save it by dunking into the curry sauce. the curry is a bit watery than i like it but its fair and theres good spice there. the potato croquettes however, were very simple and i enjoyed a lot! $8 is for two pieces, hnngh.. but they tastes pretty good and had some onions inside as well. reminded me of eating friied onions while also enjoying potatoes. i prob would get that again. i tried to ask for some brown sauce, like tonkatsu sauce (?), to eat w it but they wouldve charged me an additional dollar for it so i declined haha. im from socal so i thought it was a given for croquettes to have a sauce w it read more

A welcome addition to the Dublin food scene. When you walk in you order at the counter and they bring the food to you. There's about 8 tables with a bunch of 2 and 4 tops. We ordered a hamburg filled with cheese curry rice as well as a tonkatsu curry rice. The curry was flavorful. They have a choice of no spice, +1, +2, and +3. I ordered a +1, which was comparable to a 3 at coco ichibanya. While +2 was tolerable for me, if I had a whole serving it'd probably be too much and I'd end up chugging water. The tonkatsu and hamburg servings were generous. The hamburg oozed with cheese once you cut into it. Overall very yummy. I appreciated that the restaurant is located in a strip mall with lots of parking. A nice stream of customers came in and out. In addition to curry rice they also do curry udons and their karaage looked legit. Will have to get some next time. Prices are reasonable. Staff is friendly. They have a lot of options as add ons. So you can customize it to whatever you like. If you are in the area hankering for curry please give it a try. read more

Food was pretty solid - curry was tasty, katsu was super crispy and tender, fresh veggies, portions were good! But the service was prettyyyy difficult:/ it was a struggle to get the cashier to understand what we wanted to order and we didn't even have any special requests or nothing. The dude was p frustrated...and we ended up getting the wrong order after everything HAHA. Curry rice is better than curry udon - the udon sauce is more watery like broth and can get bland.

Best curry spot in the east bay. This little whole in the wall is a hitter! The restaurant doesn't have a sign in the front so it's a little tricky to find. It's in the corner of the shopping center next to the Mexican restaurant. I got the tonktasu curry with lvl 3 spicy. It was packed with so much flavor and the curry had a nice thickness to it. The lvl 3 kicked a little bit but wasn't too spicy. The rice was cooked perfectly, perfect texture and grain. read more

It is good and I would give it 5 stars, however, I feel they are a bit stingy on the curry sauce and the togo container ends up being less than half full, while costing more than $15, so I'm not sure if it's worth it. I would probably give it 5 stars if they filled up the container more than halfway read more

This was absolutely delicious! They have so many protein options to go with the curry. The service is fast and friendly. There is indoor and outdoor seating. I love that you can choose your spice level as well. It goes mild, 1,2, and 3. I ordered a 2 spice level and it had a pleasant kick. I would like to try the 3 spice level next time and add veggies to the curry. The pork was tender and juicy. The curry was so flavorful. I am definitely coming back. Wonderful meal! read more

Demiya - Tonkatsu Curry with Egg - Japanese Curry Near Me - Dublin, California

Great place- glad I was finally able to try it today. The place is very hard to find- if you see the Los Perricos mexican place on the corner, Demiya is next to it on the left/behind. There is no signage, I had to ask to find it. Best place to park is in the back lot. When your GPS tells you to turn- that is where you should park even though all you see are the back doors of the businsses in the strip mall. I ordered the curry udon with tonkatsu and my friend ordered the curry rice with tonkatsu. I got mine spicy, which definitely has a decent kick. My friend got normal. We both really enjoyed our meals, you can definitely taste the Japanese curry. The curry is a little on the watery side, I wish it were thicker, but the taste is right, flavor is not diluted. Next time I plan to order to go and try the buta curry doria, which is a baked dish that takes 20 minutes to make. read more

When you are looking for a local place that offers Japanese comfort food, this unassuming spot is the place. While they have a selection of curry dishes, I always find myself coming back to the chicken katsu curry. This place can get busy, so be prepared for a bit of a wait for a table at meal times. We always have to ask to cut the katsu chicken and sometimes they do, sometimes they don't and at times will be out of brown rice. The food is made to order, so always happy to wait the 15-20ish minute prep times for orders to be ready. Can't speak to dine-in service, but it's hit or miss when ordering takeaway. Demiya has become part of our regular rotation. read more

Everything we had was on point. The katsu have an extra special crunch. Level 3 spicy is borderline of what I could handle

The service here is super quick. We got our food a few minutes after ordering. I ordered a chicken katsu curry, level 2 spice with a side of pickles(extra $1). The chicken katsu was a little on the drier side and they cut it in such huge chunks which I wasn't a fan of. The curry is a bit salty as well but I guess it kind of works out because the chicken is bland. The taste can get repetitive but the pickles really help and I would recommend getting them. The food here is just okay, there's definitely better spots like curry hyuga. read more

4.5 stars rounded up to 5 stars. Demiya is located in the same plaza as Ace Hardware. It's towards the back with minimal signage so might not be easy to find. Glad that other Yelpers have helpfully mentioned that it's behind Los Pericos, making it easier to locate. You came here purely for the delicious food as it's a no-frill place with minimal service. The tables are pretty closely packed together. You order at the counter, get a number, find your own table, get your own water and the food will be brought to your table. Despite being a cafeteria style place, it was very clean and the staff was courteous. I ordered Tonkatsu Curry Udon but the cashier put in Tonkatsu Curry Rice instead. She was nice enough to exchange to the correct order for me after I discovered the error when the food came. The corrected order came quickly. The only minor issue was that when she refunded me money for the incorrect order, she only refunded me the cost of the food with tax and not the tip I gave. I didn't notice until I got home. When I paid for the corrected order, I paid tip again so essentially I gave double tips. It's nothing major but seems a bit sneaky. Food was delicious! The curry sauce was nicely balanced, udon had a nice chewy texture, the tonkatsu's portion was big, the thickness of the breading was just right. The tonkatsu was crunchy on the outside and quite moist and tender on the inside. I also really liked the sunny side up egg which added another layer of flavor. It was a warm, filling bowl of yummy goodness! It's my first time here and I was impressed with the quality of the food. Would definitely come again! read more

Delicious Japanese curry! I've now ordered both the udon and rice version. You cannot go wrong with either option. I've also tried both the pork katsu and chicken katsu. Good sized portions, crunchy on the outside, and tender and moist on the inside. If you can, try and eat there! It's even better to eat right away. The katsu rice comes with just the meat and curry and that's it. Add-ons as other have stated is additional $$. The curry udon does come with carrots and an egg in addition to the meat. The noodles were tender but still had a bite, perfect. There is seating inside and outside but might be a wait during busy times. The restaurant is behind Los Perricos and as others have stated, have no signage. Staff are friendly and efficient. I plan to be a regular! read more
